Salazar has distracted from the Kenyan doping

There's loads more that they simply choose to ignore...Ethiopia, Uganda, Eritrea, etc. If you don't have at least the testings standards and labs of the other countries then you shouldn't be participating.

Definitely so. Athletics is a joke until the act is cleaned up.

I am surprised this thread has no more traction. I was going to write a similar post then saw this one.

Salazar is a big name, but this is a bit of a joke. Until they get Hassan, Bolt,Farrah, and Kenya/Ethiopia en masse ...(they cannot retroactively get Florence Joyner, Marita Koch, etc) nothing is really different.

This reminds me of the NFL where big names rarely if ever get caught and can use Anabolics, androgenics, insulin and growth hormone with impunity.

This reminds me of cycling in the early 2000s when little guys would get popped, prior to Hamilton’s positive test and Operation Puerto.

The USA is the worst country in history for doping.

Just this year the fastest man in the world got done for missing three tests and now the highest profile coach in the USA (possibly athletics) got banned.

The top two men in the 100m have both suffered doping infringements, both American.

For sprinters? Yes, tied with Jamaica. 100% agree.

Not even close for distance runners, with Kenya and Ethiopia taking that prize.

These countries don’t help stop doping, they actually help their dopers. Fox guarding the hen house situation.

We are actually testing our athletes occasionally.

It's also a bit of a co-incidence that the cheater shoe controversy is reaching its height just when we are seeing peak Kenyan doping busts.

Plenty of white guys and girls PRing over here since they started wearing the cheaterflies. Nothing to do with Kenya.
